It’s mid of March and it feels like winter is not going to move away. Last week we thought, finally….we can take off the jackets…wow. But this week seems to be colder again and we decided to enjoy the mulled cider with green grapes and spices to help us keep warm. The cider I made is non-alcoholic so that our 3 year old can also enjoy.




We are using real green seedless grapes instead of the store-bought juice. It’s good to use fresh ingredients whenever we can. We made the mulled cider in a normal saucepan. But slow-cooker is also great option to make this warm drink. The color of the drink my not be so appealing, but they taste great. Adding orange slices make the drink look gorgeous.
